How do you feel if others commanded you to get out of here?

How would I feel if other people commanded me to get out of here?

I wouldn't take any notice.

I don't suggest you get out of here, just that you ask and answer questions that you and everybody else can understand. Perhaps not about the most intractable matters of English. You could have asked about the correct way to say:

"How do you feel if others commanded you to get out of here?"

and everybody would have been charming to you.

Who then posted this?
"Read Lewis and go away and think about it."

......and then come back.

If I say "Go away and put on those sexy boots" I suppose that you'll be back, sexier.
